Just wanted to say Mama Anchorabu had a bad fall Wednesday and broke both shoulders and her pelvis. She's in the hospital now and then a nursing home for 8-10 weeks at least. Please pray for her. Thank you and bless you all. And she says hi. ?❤️ Oh my gosh. How terrible. Sending good thoughts for a quick recovery. How are you doing, Anchorabu? 1 Link to comment

Anchorabu June 22, 2017 Share June 22, 2017 Thank you all and bless you for your kind thoughts and prayers. Mom's been in a lot of pain. The palliative care nurse met with us today and says although mom's right shoulder is a clean break her left shoulder is actually shattered. It's not repairable and most likely won't heal. They will up her pain meds to keep her comfy and keep her on the rehab floor for now but she will probable go to palliative care then hospice at some point since she has a broken pelvis too. Ugh poor mom. Will keep you all posted. Mom says hi. ❤️? On 6/18/2017 at 4:57 PM, MsVixen said: So sorry to hear about Momma A, Anchorabu! Sending good thoughts to both of you!

James can't even be bothered to do that, even when he's eating! Was James the one who had not even SAT UP in a bed, let alone gotten up or attempted to get up? Was he the one who GAINED 150 pounds? That is another me for goodness sake!! You have to WORK at that!!!! The Assanti brothers and their dad.....yikes all around! Link to comment

I have gained a bit of weight over the winter and I joke with my fiance: "Does this mattress make me look fat?" all the time? That, and I ask him: "When I can hide a loin of pork in my fat folds.....stop me." (I really can't do that....and I am NOT a candidate for this show!!) 1 Link to comment
auntjess June 26, 2017 Share June 26, 2017 OK, James's episode made it to the finals, and the Previouslies have a small talk file called "Red Carpet." I tried to post the obligatory red carpet celebrity shot of James K and Lisa, but can't get it to post. Anyone? I just copied the URL of shot w/green sheet and white sheet. Help! Link to comment

ethalfrida July 5, 2017 Share July 5, 2017 I joined some fitness groups on FB. One of them is based on 600LB Life and called a Chat. This morning someone wanted to know which sweetener they could use besides sugar to sweeten their Kool Aid. Because the group has members who are or nearly 600 pounds we cannot offer any advice as to why they shouldn't be eating or drinking certain things. So when a question like that comes up we are supposed to scroll on by if we disagree. SMH. I don't think I will be a part of it much longer ... 1 Link to comment

auntjess July 7, 2017 Share July 7, 2017 (edited) I am watching repeats, (Nikki now, James K later), and trying to find something to watch, to go along with true crime. I've ever recorded some old What Not to Wear shows, and a few Body Bizarres. Recently, I've been watching the Air Disaster shows again too. What do you all watch in the off season?

auntjess July 7, 2017 Share July 7, 2017 Never watched him. Anthony Melchiori's Hotel Impossible is the only thing I've watched on the Travel Channel in recent years. I wish DIY had some show I could really get into. Everything is flipping or Scott brothers. I do like Barnwood Builders and Salvage Dawgs, but don't desire to load my DVR with them. Link to comment

Anchorabu July 9, 2017 Share July 9, 2017 Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. That means so much to us. I stay with mom from about 9 am to 9 pm at the nursing home so she's not "alone" during the day, and I can feed her etc. She's very frightened and confused when I'm not there. We watch a lot of TV of course! At least we do when she's not sleeping. She's forgotten a lot but still remembers "Ow mah laygs!" She's getting good care there. Will post updates.

LocalGovt July 14, 2017 Share July 14, 2017 First off, sending love and prayers to Anchorabu and her mom.... Secondly, I belong to one of the Facebook groups that some of the show's participants belong to. Some there are saying that the people on the show get no perks for being on the show (no $$, no relocation $$, no vehicles, no free weight loss surgery, etc.). Is this true? Because...I can't imagine putting yourself out there like that and uprooting your family and your life, all for an hour's worth of questionable fame. They have branded me a bully (of sorts) for not jumping onboard the sympathy train for one of the former cast members, who now finds herself the object of admittedly mean memes. I merely pointed out that this cast member had to know that putting her life out there for public consumption would result in good and bad attention, but that she didn't mind when she was getting all the perks of being on the show (which I assumed to be some type of financial assistance as well as weight loss surgery). 2 Link to comment

aliya August 6, 2017 Share August 6, 2017 Fooling around on YouTube and found this entry in the 'Irish people....' series: Irish People Watch 'My 600 lb Life.' They watched Amber's show and were really kind, I thought. Loved the part at the end where one viewer says she can't wait to follower Amber on Instagram and see all of her kale salads. : ) Link to comment
